    @nhl.pl The issue of promoting NodeBB in China is quite complex. Most domestic webmasters prefer simpler-to-install and maintain PHP + MySQL-based solutions, such as Discuz!, which, despite its declining popularity, still holds the largest share of internet forum software. Another good alternative is XiunoBBS, which I use for another site. Of course, this is just one of several approaches to building a website.

    Another approach is to completely abandon the traditional web interface and integrate your site with the WeChat app, leveraging its vast user base. By presenting your forum as a WeChat Mini Program, you can easily promote it within the app. Moreover, WeChat's platform includes payment functionalities, making operations like knowledge paywalls or other paid services simple and fast. Implementing such features would typically require significant secondary development and integration with various APIs in other platforms, but these challenges are virtually non-existent on WeChat.

    Additionally, there’s the option of developing your site into a standalone app, which offers even greater flexibility, though at a higher cost.

    Additionally, to be frank, many webmasters in China may not prefer command-line operations. For example, running commands like ./nodebb buildmight seem very rudimentary to them.

    They would much prefer these operations to be integrated into a web interface, where they can manage everything through a visual, user-friendly dashboard. I hope this makes sense.

        Command line is really comfortable to use. Show how to use it. And what can be done with CLI.

        NodeBB has web installer similar to PHP based projects. Do you know about it?

          @nhl.pl ah, I know that kind of installation method.

          However, I came across this doc after I had already installed NODEBB 😂 😂 😂 😂

            You have to show them web browser running in CLI. And similar things like music/video players. No need to use anything else but CLI.

              It might be worth noting that one area where NodeBB could further enhance its appeal within Chinese-speaking communities, as well as for users of other East Asian languages, is in the realm of search functionality.
              
              Personally, I've found that the default DB Search doesn't always handle Chinese characters as effectively as one might hope.
              
              just recently, a user named Lulu, who appears to be Korean, also touched upon this topiclink. It seems there's a shared sentiment that improving how NodeBB processes and searches for terms in languages like Chinese, Korean, and Japanese could significantly benefit a broader international community.
              
              Undertaking such improvements would undoubtedly be a considerable endeavor but could be an important step toward making NodeBB a more globally inclusive community platform.

                @juse for that, we rely on @oplik0 to help us as he is developing the meilisearch plugin.

                Full text search with Redis and Mongo with Asian characters is difficult, so we rely on other search engines instead.
